诗篇 68
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
得胜的凯歌
大卫作的诗，交给乐长。
68 愿上帝起来驱散祂的仇敌，
使恨祂的人四散奔逃。
2 愿你驱散他们，
如风把烟吹散。
愿恶人在上帝面前灭亡，
如蜡在火中熔化。
3 愿义人在上帝面前欢欣快乐，
愿他们高兴欢喜。
4 要歌颂上帝，
赞美祂的名，
要颂扬驾云而行的上帝。
祂的名字是耶和华，
要在祂面前欢喜快乐。
5 住在圣所的上帝是孤儿的父亲，寡妇的保护者。
6 祂使孤苦者有家，
让被囚者欢然脱离牢笼。
但叛逆者要住在干旱之地。
7 上帝啊，
你曾带领你的子民走过荒野。（细拉）
8 那时，在西奈山的上帝面前，
在以色列的上帝面前，
大地震动，诸天降雨。
9 上帝啊，你降下沛雨，
滋润你干旱的产业——以色列，
10 让你的子民得以安居在那里。
上帝啊，
你满怀恩慈地供养穷苦人。
11 主下达命令，
成群的妇女便奔走相告：
12 “众王和他们的军队逃走了，逃走了！”
以色列的妇女都在分战利品。
13 即使羊圈里的看羊人也披金戴银，
就像鸽子镀银的翅膀和金光闪闪的羽毛。
14 全能的上帝驱散了众王，
势如大雪洒落在撒们。
15 巴珊的山巍峨雄壮，群峰耸立。
16 崇山峻岭啊，
你们为何嫉妒地盯着上帝选为居所的山，
耶和华永远居住的地方呢？
17 上帝带着千千万万的战车从西奈山来到祂的圣所。
18 你升上高天时，
带着许多俘虏；
你接受了众人的礼物，
甚至叛逆者的礼物。
耶和华上帝就住在那里。
19 要称颂主，
称颂我们的救主上帝，
祂天天背负我们的重担。（细拉）
20 我们的上帝是拯救的上帝，
主耶和华救我们脱离死亡。
21 上帝必打碎仇敌的头颅，
敲破怙恶不悛者的脑袋。
22 主说：
“我要把他们从巴珊带回来，
从深海带回来，
23 好让你们的脚从他们的血泊中踩过，
你们的狗也可以吃他们的肉。”
24 上帝啊，你的队伍已经出现；
我的上帝，我的王啊，
你的队伍进了圣所，
25 歌唱的在前，奏乐的殿后，
摇手鼓的少女居中。
26 要在大会中赞美上帝，
以色列的会众都要赞美耶和华。
27 最小的便雅悯支派在前领路，
后面跟着大群的犹大首领，
还有西布伦和拿弗他利的首领。
28 上帝啊，求你施展你的权能；
上帝啊，求你像以前一样为我们彰显你的力量。
29 君王都带着礼物来到你耶路撒冷的圣殿。
30 求你斥责那芦苇中的野兽，
斥责成群的公牛和列邦的牛犊，
使他们俯首献上贡银。
求你驱散好战的列邦。
31 埃及的使节来朝见，
古实也要归降上帝。
32 世上的列国啊，
要向上帝歌唱，
你们要歌颂主，
33 歌颂凌驾在万古穹苍之上的主。
听啊，祂声如雷鸣。
34 你们要传扬上帝的大能，
祂的威荣普照以色列，
祂的权能彰显于穹苍。
35 上帝啊，你在圣所中令人敬畏。
以色列的上帝把力量和权能赐给祂的子民。
上帝当受称颂！
Psalm 68
King James Version
68 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
Psalm 68
The Voice
Psalm 68
For the worship leader. A song of David.
Psalm 68 is a hymn describing God as a Divine Warrior, marching from Sinai through the wilderness to make His home in Jerusalem.
1 May the True God rise up and show Himself;
may those who are united against Him be dispersed,
while the people who hate Him run away at the sight of Him.
2 As smoke disappears when it is blown by the wind,
may You blow away Your enemies forever.
As wax melts in the presence of fire,
may the wicked heart melt away in God’s presence.
3 But may those who are righteous rejoice
in the presence of the True God—so may they be glad and rejoice.
Yes, let them celebrate with joy!
4 Sing songs of praise to the name that belongs to the True God!
Let your voices ring out in songs of praise to Him, the One who rides through the deserted places.
His name is the Eternal;
celebrate in His glorious presence.
5 The True God who inhabits sacred space
is a father to the fatherless, a defender of widows.
6 He makes a home for those who are alone.
He frees the prisoners and leads them to prosper.
Yet those who rebel against Him live in the barren land without His blessings and prosperity.
7 O True God, when You led Your enslaved people from Egypt,
when You journeyed with us through the wilderness,
[pause][a]
8 The whole world trembled! The sky poured down rain
at the power of Your presence; even Mount Sinai trembled in Your presence,
the presence of the True God, the God of Israel.
9 You sent a heavy downpour to soak the ground, O True God.
You refreshed the land—the land Your people would inherit—when it was parched and dry.
10 Your covenant people made their homes in the land,
and because You are so good, You provided for those crushed by poverty, O True God.
11 The Lord gives the word;
there are very many women ready to tell the good news:
12 “Kings who lead the armies are on the run!
They are on the run!
And the woman who stays at home is ready, too,
ready to enjoy the treasures that they’ve left behind!”
13 When they lay down among the campfires and open the saddlebags, imagine what they’ll find—
a beautiful dove, its wings covered with silver,
its feathers a shimmering gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered the kings from that place,
it was snowing in Zalmon.
15 O Mount Bashan, you mighty mountain of the True God;
mountain of many peaks, O Mount Bashan.
16 Why are you so jealous, O mountain of many peaks,
when you look at the mountain the True God has chosen as His dwelling place?
The Eternal will surely abide on Mount Zion forever.
17 The chariots of God are innumerable;
there are thousands upon thousands of them.
The Lord is in their midst, just as He was at Mount Sinai.
He has come into the holy place.
18 When You ascended the sacred mountain,
with Your prisoners in tow, Your captives in chains,
You sat in triumph receiving gifts from men,
Even from those who rebel against You, so that You, the Eternal God, might take up residence there.
19 Blessed be the Lord
who carries our heavy loads every day,
the True God who is our salvation.
[pause]
20 We know our God is the God who delivers us,
and the Eternal, the Lord, is the One who saves us from the grip of death.
21 The True God will certainly shatter the skulls of those who oppose Him;
He’ll smash the hairy head of the man who continues on his sinful ways.
22 The Lord said,
“I will bring the enemy back from Bashan.
I will bring them back from the deepest parts of the sea,
23 So that you may plant your feet in their blood
and your dogs may lick up their portion of the foe.”
24 The solemn march in Your honor, O True God, has come into view;
the march that celebrates my God, my King, has come into the sanctuary.
25 The singers went first, and the musicians came last
between rows of girls who played tambourines.
26 Come, let us gather to bless the True God
and to praise the Eternal, He who is the fountain of Israel, the source of our life!
27 Look! There are the rulers of Benjamin, the youngest in the lead.
A great crowd follows
The princes of Judah,
the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28 [Your God is the One who has given you strength];[b]
show Your power, O True God, as You have done for us.
29 Because of Your magnificent temple in Jerusalem,
many kings will line up to bring You gifts.
30 Reprimand the beasts in the tall grass,
the herds of bulls that are with the people’s calves,
Trampling over the pieces of silver.
He has driven out the people who love to be at war.
31 Ambassadors will come from Egypt;
the people of Ethiopia[c] will reach out their hands to the one True God.
32 Let all the kingdoms of the earth sing to the True God.
Sing songs of praise to the Lord.
[pause]
33 To Him who rides high up beyond the heavens, which have been since ancient times,
watch and listen. His voice speaks, and it is powerful and strong.
34 Attribute power to the one True God;
His royal splendor is evident over Israel,
and His power courses through the clouds.
35 O True God, You are awesome from the holy place where You dwell.
The True God of Israel Himself
grants strength and power to His people.
Blessed be our God!
